Re: Trolling? What Trolling? :P

These people were not only trolling, but breaking the law. Think about it. By accepting the Community Guidelines, they pretty much legally vowed to obey them- and breaking their vow is breaking the law. Read the Guidelines if you need proof. If Scratch could find them, they could actually sue them- not for much, about the price of a lawyer, but it'll teach 'em a lesson.

I don't see any end-user liscense agreement  hmm  there should be a check box for accepting the community guidelines with a link to a EULA. I haven't found any webpage yet that says this is illegal; only the COPPA which disables the operator of the site to give away children's information; which it did not. But there are multiple pages of copyright protection and liscenses for our projects, the program and the website. Is there a law yet or am I missing something?  hmm  Any link to one would be helpful  smile

Even if that isn't illegal, isn't exposing minors to pornography illegal?

I would hope so

I would believe so, considering several teachers have been arrested because they've contracted computer viruses that caused some...err...problems during presentations in classes.
